Edith Olivier on a day-bed at the Daye House, Wilton Park

1942

By Rex Whistler

Oil on canvas

Unsigned, but inscribed on the back ‘Edith O/Sept: 12 1942’. Edith Olivier recorded in her journal that she frequently had to move during its painting to escape the dazzling sun and hence the wide-brimmed muslin hat.
